WHY BOTHER TO BE A SPEAKER?

SOME of you may know that just a month ago I launched Scott Media Speakers to celebrate some of the amazing people I work with and some amazing people I know. I know far more amazing people than I actually can work with as there are not enough hours in the day, days in the week or months in the year to pay tribute to all of the wonderful stories I've heard over 36 years of being in the media.

The truth is that public speaking - or just speaking - is a fantastic PR tool in the toolbox of true and real PR ie. public relations. It means you are out 'doing' something, being 'visible' and often 'giving back' in some way.

Yet many speaker agencies which exist only focus on those who are already celebrities, who are A listers in music, film, tv, art, books, business, politics, sport etc etc. And for the majority of us that's not really achievable or even desirable. It's okay to not want that life. It's okay to want that life.

Yet we often miss the fact that success can come in all shapes and sizes and there are heroes in every community every where with amazing stories, experiences, lessons and learnings to share.

Meet businessman and marketing whizz Graeme Leighfield who founded GEL Studios in Swindon. I met Graeme some years ago and we got on from the beginning. We are both strong personalities, we recognise that and on the odd occasion we've had some heated conversations. But we admire and respect each other. We have similar ethics and we are both proud of where we live - Swindon and Wiltshire.

Graeme's business is bigger than mine - because his vision is different yet when I launched Scott Media Speakers he watched for a while and then contacted me about being part of it. I'm very blessed and humbled by that and you'll see him represented on my site in the next couple of weeks. What can he talk about - many things: his personal journey in all of its colour and variety; his profession; building a business; how to be a leader - and much more. I'm sure in the fullness of time, his first book will be published. Watch this space!
